www.xsane.org says the support for the epson perfection 4870 is 'complete'.
Yup, that's why I bought it.
what version of xsane do you have?
Started with the default installed with 9.0, then replaced it with the latest release for Ver 9.0 off the packman site this afternoon, which limited me to two choices, replaced that with what shipped on the DVD
xsane-0.96-0.pm.0 is the latest (from Packman):

URL : http://www.xsane.org/ Summary : An X Frontend for SANE Description : XSane is a Gtk-based, comfortable, and stable X front-end for SANE (Scanner Access now Easy) under Linux. XSane allows scanning, copying, and faxing and can be used as a scan module for GIMP. Furthermore, there are versions of XSane for other operating systems, which allow to access a scanner connected to a Linux box via network. Check out http://www.wolfsburg.de/~rauch/sane/sane-xsane.html for that. You didn't say what interface the scanner has to the computer, usbX.
